PL:100 Music plays from a laptop's speakers, a simple tone, but one that showed the girl had one the game she was playing, a simple tactical rpg. The type where you managed your resources and units to win. Not only had she won, she had done so near flawlessly, only 15% of her units had been taken out, the others? 100% of course. Their groans could be heard. Those of the three men who had been playing agaisnt her. Their was a woman on the call as well but, understandably to the older woman she could no longer play this game. "Reckless, your all reckless. you can get in easy enough, but you never think of the long term. You leave to much chaos in your wake and it always leads... right back... to you"Another victory chime came, along with further groans from the men. "Leave the seeds, not a trail, rouse the crowd, don't let them know it's you, play the game-don't let it play you""Is their a point to this" That was the collective thought. So young, so hyperactive. So much potential and yet... They kept failing at the finish line. Even the woman was guilty of it when she still played. "Theirs a point to everything you do, every move you make, your EXP trinkles up but you only have the one life, thats how these games work. All it takes is one wrong move and... your done, get it?"The men griped, but ultimately accepted her words. Good, how else would they work right? How else could she properly view this contest? If she was going to see who could beat the final boss she had to push each to their limit. She'd hate to have to start from scratch after all this work. Ultimately the game ended, along with the call. the four had jobs after all, she made sure they stuck to them. They each had such differing goals in life... it was ironic how the solution to all those goals lay in their little group! It was a great compromise if she did say so herself. As great as the compromise she had going with the King here! she ran the technical points of the planets defense network and, in exchange she got this wonderful little place to stay right in his own home base crazy right? But for her it was just so... perfect. Her best tactics came from being under pressure. Leaders toppled one by one. What if theirs was next? What if theirs fell? Why, how would the people react then? Laptop shut down, put away. No one was allowed in this room so she didnt have to worry about the mess. Door locked, she'd need to remeber the pass code. Today was the screening day for recruits to the earth's milatary. If she was being honest she didnt know whether it was a waste of time our not. Certainly this world needed better protection. But of course she just had to be one of the ones going through the applicants. Though, she supposed observing had always been her strong point. But at this rate, they were so desperate they'd end up hiring his killer. "Alrightttt let's get this over with, who's my next group, step forward if your proctor is 'Titania'
Rustle rustle, oh how would the wind turn? [Anyone can join this thread, be aware however that actions taken here may affect certain things down the road~ however small it may seem for now. have fun, shape things everyone!, the location is a large field just outside the King's palace, split into several sections for the different Proctors]

Thread PL: 1,000
Suppressed PL: 5 Within the group that Titania was overseeing, there was someone who stood out in the strangest of ways: by looking completely normal. Within all these other warriors was a teen with orange eyes and brown hair. She was wearing a gray hoodie and dressed strangely casual for a test to enter the Earth’s military. Akisei was garbed in her human disguise. Which was known as Kiara Appeldorn. She was rather proud of this disguise: not only was her last name a very vague reference to how she was born, but she had gone to great lengths to make sure Kiara Appeldorn existed. A birth Certificate at Saten City Memorial Hospital, a social security number, every little detail possible was put into place years ago. Akisei had also perfected an art that allowed mortals to sense a bit of her ki, while camouflaging as a human. It wasn’t perfect: if a deity touched her, they’d be able to see through her disguise. But she didn’t foresee that being a problem. After years of laying the groundwork, the time had come to move forward with her plans. The assassination attempts were just the beginning of her machinations. She was going to make her way closer and closer, getting more and more influence on Earth. The one mortal planet she could call her own. It would play a crucial role in things to come. And she was going to be at the forefront of it. Guiding the planet and its significant denizens towards her ultimate goal: to make Universe 7 the most supreme verse in existence. When her group was called, Akisei slipped her hands into her pockets and walked forward. Her golden eyes looked at her proctor. She was meant to play the part of a strong mortal human. And a teen at that. So she swallowed, looking around at the others before looking back at Titania. It would be strange if she appeared to be a little too calm, after all.

[Thread PL: 295 (Suppressed to 10)][Babystep Weights Applied! PL gains doubled!][Thread Outfit: Capsule Corp. Uniform] It certainly was a busy day for Earth's Military! Even as the sun beat down overhead on a surprisingly warm morning for this part of the world, so many people were lining up to be the world's next protectors! It was... ... Well to be honest, Ayami wasn't the least bit interested in that. She wasn't even here for the application process! No she was here to play a much different role. Capsule Corp being the massive outreaching company they are was providing technical support during this special training day. But not just ANYONE got to come out to do this job. A small group of employees had been assigned the task, and among them? The water elfen herself dressed in her work uniform! Two employees were assigned to each section. Although...The inventor grumbled and complained under her breath. The higher ups made her suppress her ki!!! What gives?! They said something about "Not scaring people while in uniform" but...Argh!The young inventor carried a box full of monitoring equipment of all shapes and sizes, it was hard to see where she was going and as such mistakes can often happen...If Kiara didn't take notice of the water elfen, Ayami would accidentally bump shoulder to shoulder against the disguised kai. Even if the accident had been avoided, the young elfen still believed she had caused an accident. Her eyes widen and she tries her best to bow despite...Carrying a heavy box..."S...Sorry! Please forgive me!"The senior employee who had been assigned to this post tapped his foot impatiently, watching the clumsy inventor stumble her way across."Oi oi! We've got a tight schedule to keep, hurry so we can get this set up!"The inventor gives a nod and hurries over at double pace. With a loud thud the sturdy box which holds all of the necessary equipment drops to the ground and the lid opens with a hiss. The two employees quickly get to work setting it all up on a table which had been placed near Titania. As they are in the middle of work Ayami stops fastening a plug into a machine and glances over at the strange proctor."Heyyy...Cool glasses!"There was something odd about this woman that the elfen just couldn't place. Her outward friendliness hid an inward curiosity. Everything about this 'Titania' rang out as strange. Her gear didn't match what one would expect "Military Professional" to look like. Although...She simply chalked this up to 'Movies lie' and dropped the thought that hung in her mind. Titania Akisei

Post by Atsuko on Jan 31, 2021 15:50:33 GMT
[Thread PL: 345] [Suppressed to 5] Among all the recruits for Earth's Military, there was one stand-out, for a variety of reasons. It was a name that seemingly sprang out from nowhere, with only records attached to the last name. Given recent events those records were classified as well. Not that it was a problem for anyone working on this kind of level for the King. The only public information is that this person was a famed Knight that was making waves against organized crime groups. While she was far from being a global celebrity, that kind of news on an otherwise peaceful planet spreads fast enough. Especially when they were doing work for the authorities.
Another reason for standing out is the unreal power she displayed. While it wasn't anywhere near enough to be capable of threatening all of Earth's military, it was still very notable in that it would take a fair portion of it before it would be an even fight. Her raw power was that high, and her technique wasn't sloppy. This is what one could dig up directly on the name 'Atsuko Inoue'. Classified records would show that the family name implies a relation to Micaela Inoue. A now-retired Knight of Yama.
There were two final reasons for her to stick out like a sore thumb, and they were readily apparent as she stepped forward as per the instructions of Proctor Titania. First; she was clad in medieval-styled armor. A keen eye would even be able to identify it as the work of the Knights of Yama. Secondly; she had a very distinct sword and sheath at her side. This was much more difficult to identify, but the craftsmanship on it implied a level that was beyond Human comprehension.
All of this brought us to why Atsuko had come here, why she had signed up to be part of Earth's Military. It was because of her discussions with Kosho, she knew that the Saiyan King was targeted and assassinated. It was her suspicion that Earth's King could fall victim to the same plot... And when her enemies showed up, she would be ready to spring her own ambush on them. Of course, the helmet over her face hid any such intention from being easily read by others." Atsuko Inoue, reporting for duty." , she spoke confidently. She was completely different from Kiara, in that regard. Although only on a surface level... Her gaze was focused, staring at Titania rather than looking around aimlessly. There didn't appear to be a shred of nervousness or anxiety to work against here.
The wind revealed something pretty interesting, perhaps? Ayami Akisei Titania

Post by Vaelaria on Feb 7, 2021 21:19:18 GMT
This was meant to be a fairly normal day for Vaelaria, but she was excited anyways! She got to travel with Dr. Willinger and help present something to some important people! Vae wasn't really listening 100%, but she does know that she's coming along because the medicine Dr. Willinger was showing them was based on some of the flowers from Hegemon! She was the one who catalogued a lot of the information about those flowers, so Dr. Willinger trusted her to present the information to these people! Vae carried the stack of papers in her arms with pride, sticking close to her mentor's side. Though... One thing did catch her attention. ".... if your proctor is Titania." That made Vae pause midstep, suddenly very curious. Titania was the name of the Fae Queen! So what was she doing here? Or was it actually her? Maybe it was just someone who shared her name? Either way, the chance that the person knew of the Fae and might be interested to see one was somewhat high! "Dr. Will, I'll be right back I promise!" That was pretty much the only warning Vae gave before she ran off, ducking and darting through the crowds in an effort to move quickly. She could hear Dr. Will's voice call out in mild annoyance, but judging by the fact it wasn't panic it wasn't a huge deal! She could check this out and come right back to Dr. Willinger for the presentation! She opened the door to the room with Miss Titania in it, excited! She might have done it a little bit too loudly, but paused afterwards. She probably should have sensed for ki beforehand. None of them felt like a Fae. Oh! Ayami was here though! "Ah, Hello I'm sorry to interrupt but I heard mention of someone named Titania here and I'm a Fae so-" A rolled up paper bopped her lightly on the head. "Small problem child... Didn't you hear me say for you to wait a bit? What's even got you so animated in the first place?" Dr. Willinger was right behind her. This was the room they were going to, but Vae darting forwards was a surprise. "My apologies Proctor Titania, my student is a bit overexcited at times." Ayami Akisei Atsuko Titania

A long loud yawn cut through the area as Lambertia finally stirred from her slumber. Having the flat with Vanta in the earth’s northern capital had been a nice and fresh experience, staying in the one place so long. It had given her the itch to travel. So she had scrounged together a few supplies and set out on a walking trip to explore areas surrounding the city.
Yesterday she had happened on a farm where after assisting in herding something called sheep for a the afternoon she had spent some time drinking with the farm owner while watching something called baseball. It had been a fun evening and she had been granted use of the sofa to crash on which was great.
Until it turned out that earthquakes were less disruptive than the owners snoring. Like a force e of nature it had shaken her bones from upstairs and prevented any chance of sleep. So she had left them a note say that she’d had to head off early to make up time and sauntered off into the night to find a nice quiet field to sleep under the stars.
She was just now waking up. Pulling the camouflage blanket of her she sat up and stretched with a second long yawn. It had been a while since she had slept quite this roughly. Standing up she brushed the blanket off, folded it up and returned it to its storage capsule in her sleeve.
Then she turned round to find that there was a bunch of other people in the field clearly about to engage in… something.
“Oh, g’morning! Uh, room for one more?”

Post by Titania on Feb 10, 2021 19:55:25 GMT
Just a regular human huh? She really did go into depth with this didn't she? Her records went back years. She had a BIRTH certificate for crying out loud! She had to respect that kind of attention to detail l, even if it currently amounted to watching her for whatever reason.
....She was even trying to act like a normal human, was their such a thing as to normal. When the 'human' gazed at her she simply returned with a disinterested glare. She had no interest in what she wanted or what she observed today. She wouldn't be looking at her much longer anyway. Well, might as well get started then. She got out her data pad and began looking the data over.
As dumb as that felt to do.
"Kiara Appeldorn, someone with such a.... normal background wishes to join earth's defense force? Shouldn't you re-think that? We'll see"
Double layered meaning. The fake would get it.
Before she could move on to the next applicant she was interrupted by the delivery of some supplies, Delivered by a rather... unique looking young girl. She commented her on her glasses and she nodded. Though that was not what caught the Proctor's attention in all this. That weak energy, that energy so low it might as well be dust in the wind, was that of an Elfin. Soothing, a water Elfin. Ki like raindrops against the window.
Hiding her ki then clearly, no Elfin was that weak. Natural she supposed. Perhaps... Yes it would be a simple matter to do so when she was ready.
"It is fine, thanks, your goggles are neat"
Acting as if she hadn't shown interest the woman proceeded with her review of the arrivals. Next was woman clad in armor, Atsuko Inoue, her file said. Ah, a saiyan then. That made sense she supposed. The likes of them had always been hungry for combat, regardless of personal beliefs. It was true whether their was peaceful or not. What was far more intresting to her was where she came from. A decadent of the Knights Of Yama huh? Oh those files were locked up rather well to. Well she wouldn't spew her private buisness to those around, she didnt want to anyway-what use would that be to her? Still, she could still let the knight herself know she knew things.
"Atsuko Inoue, Daughter of Micaela Inoue, hmmm.... Should you not be more careful hmmm? Well, none of my buisness, the better trained fighters the better, also, stop that type of talk if you don't mind, had plenty of the whole respect talk over the years for my liking, anyway I'll be giving you all your test shortly"
Hmmm only three applicants... one of which wasnt even an actual applicant. She would need to fix that. She had one more she could add and...
She was interrupted as a young girl came running up to her. Usually such a thing would annoy the proctor, even more so with the rapid way in which she spoke, full of energy.
But it didnt annoy her, far from it because the person who came... was a Fae. More than that a Fae who knew of the once queen of the fae Titania. A warm smile crossed her face in response. A young fae in this world who knew their history... it was wonderful to see.
"It is quite alright Dr. Willinger... it's nice to see such an energetic young girl around, she may stay if she wishes... though she'll need to take the test like the others if she does so, think you can handle that young fae?"
This, despite a decidedly energetic Elfin having already appeared. Their was very much a bias going on here... in comparison to how she treated the others, the way she spoke to Vaelaria was particularly motherly in tone, care laced in every word.
"Unfournatly however you are mistaken, I am not the Fae Queen, now then..."
As glad as she was to see a fae it was time to get started... and to also address the now second intruding Elfin.
Purity, light, a spirit that shines naturally. Light Elfin. Two Elfin and a Fae.... a decendent of the knights and... Her.
Oh this would be a very intresting field test.
"Applicants for people to help defend this planet, to join earth's forces. if you wish to join young Elfen follow me please come stand in front of me, everyone else still joining please do the same"
As they did so she stared everyone down with a cool, tactical glare...
"Applicants, your test begins... now"
It was said without a care in the world as Titania simply pressed a button on her data pad, opening a hole below the gathered group large enough to engulf each one of them and send them tumbling down below. Oddly enough those able to fly would find themselves unable to do so, in fact as they fell into the area below they feel a restrictive feeling upon them, preventing them from using their ki for much of anything!
As for the Water Elfin, or anyone who had decided they didnt want to come? Well that was where her Supreme Magical Fish (tm) technique came in.
Charging her own energy into a.fish she picked dup from the bar, said fish would take on a life of it's own. A surprisingly powerful one at that! Starting with Ayami, once Titania tossed it into the air it charged right under Ayami's feet, as well as any of the others involved and sent them them spiraling into the home with the others. Though this didn't include the doctor the fish was noticeably much gentler with the fae, but would none the less trip her in as well if she hadn't already gone.
The group would find themselves landing on a surprisingly comfy ground, as if the material was made with the intention of a random bunch of people falling on them. Though noticeably the area around them was anything but (well to everyone but Ayami maybe)
It was like a mechanical labyrinth, many doors leading to the different sections of it. Many tools lying about bot technical and oddly enough mundane, like a club? If they looked back up they would see the way they came in seal itself off, not that they'd have been able to fly back up anyway
In front of the pair a large screen would flash to life.
"That test being to get out of this place alive, by working together and using your various natural talents to overcome this labyrinth. You'll find yourself unable to use ki to a strong enough degree to simply blast your way out or fly out, truly you'll find you can only use what comes natural to your particularly race, or I suppose to you yourself. I will be awaiting you back at the top, now then, show we what you've got~"
The screen went dead, leaving the group to find their way out of this first room, it was a simple one, but they would find the doors all locked... without keyholes. What then should they do to open them? And when they did... what path should they take?
[Ki Bindings:Their is currently a labyrinth wide field active that restricts the use of ki, as such the players cannot use ki or techiques as they normally do, only able to do what comes naturaly to them or their race. However with the vast array of items around surely they can still muster something together?
The goal of this thread is to overcome the trials and make it out the exit on the other side, creativity is HEAVLY encouraged for this thread, lets all have fun!]

Kiara rubbed the back of her head, looking down at the ground as she answered the proctor. “There’s a lot that file leaves out, like what I’ve done in my off time. I’ve been practicing really hard. It might look a little strange, but that’s because you’ve looked into my file. It isn’t public knowledge, is it?”
Kiara mumbled, shifting her feet and holding her hands behind her back. Titania wasn’t the only one fond of double-layered meanings and cryptic language. Only the higher-ups in the military could look into a civilian file in the first place. The type of people that she was hiding her true nature from wouldn’t be able to access that knowledge easily in the first place. Someone without the military’s resources wouldn’t be able to track her down.
As the two Elfen showed themselves, Kiara felt a twinge of annoyance. The Elfen were one of the races she hated the most. Not only were they not created by the Kais, but their elemental powers were granted to them by Titania. A mortal gifting such a blessing was overstepping their bounds. It was one thing to create artificial life, but it was quite another to change an entire race like that.
Kiara found the pitfall rather comical. Until she felt the pressure on her ki. The next thing she knew, she found herself taking an unexpected ride on a fish of all things. Then she found herself in a room with all the other applicants. Kiara grit her teeth as Titania finished giving the explanation.
“That crafty witch! It’s one thing to reduce a mortal's ki. But to think she could affect ki she can’t even physically sense! This isn’t good!”
“Kiara” had honestly underestimated Titania. Right now she was vulnerable. Sure, it would only be a pain if she died in the mortal realm. But she couldn’t afford to let her disguise be ruined in any way. Not only that, but she was forced to suffer humiliation by being stripped of her abilities. Right now she was just another mortal. She was going to have to improvise and go a little off-script during this trial. Iara wasn’t here though, so she could afford to do that. She looked over at Atsuko. She walked over to the knight and spoke to her timidly.
“Um… is that sword real? Do you think you could use it to break down the doors? It looks like we’re going to have to force our way through.” Kiara interlaced her fingers, tapping the pack of her hands nervously.

Ayami grinned as Titania seemed to take the compliment quite well. The compliment in return was quite nice! Her grin only grew brighter as she looked to the serious steely-eyed proctor."Thanks! I made them myself! Heheh!"She got back to work on the equipment that was to be set up for this field test...She took a screwdriver out from her tool pouch, making sure the screws were fastened correctly. Placing it back into her pouch she noticed Vae showing up. What a surprise that was! Ayami waved to the scientific Fae, her grin positively glowing."Yo V! I didn't expect to see you here! Come to study somethin'?"As if the world didn't feel small enough, then comes the albino knight herself! Two people she knew in a single day, all in the strangest of places. As she mulled the coincidence over she took notice of how Atsuko presented herself... ... So she was here to become a military woman? The elfen inventor raised an eyebrow."Suko are you really sure military life is your style? I thought you were all about that chivalry stuff or whatever! But...Hi all the same! I'm here on..."The young inventor stood up, giving an overexcited salute to the saiyan knight."...OFFICIAL CAPSULE CORP BUSINESS!"She scratched the back of her neck as Titania rushed along, stating that everyone should stand at attention in front of her. The elfen cleared her throat awkwardly, trying to get the woman's attention."Uh, sorry if you can just wait a minute longer I'm almost done setting up this equipment! I'll be right out of your way once it's done. That's a capsule corp guarantee! This gear is rated A+ by me personally! So you see...Uh..."... Well that wasn't what the inventor was expecting at all. With the simple press of a button Titania had ejected everyone but Ayami herself straight down a trap door underneath the grass itself. She peaked over at the hole, seeing that there was...No bottom in sight?! The water elfen wasted no time letting out an impressed whistle."Wowie, lady you didn't tell me you had a bag of tricks like this! You really are a-"As if right on cue a magical fish slid right underneath the inventor's right foot, causing her to slip forwards! She grabbed onto the equipment laden table to try and save herself from the fall but it was simply too late as the girl and her equipment all came crashing down over the side!"-WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeee..."[Ki Suppression lifted due to shock of falling! Full Power level of 295 revealed!] The inventor landed onto the floor with a thud, her eyes were shut tightly as she expected an impact...Far worse than what it actually was?! Without even sitting up Ayami rapped her knuckles against the floor, checking the density. It rang back as something...Metallic? She opened her eyes wide, surprised at the results of her impromptu test. She ran her fingers across the floor, feeling the familiar comfort of a cold metal. This feeling reinvigorated the young inventor, causing her to sit up like someone flipped the switch on a machine."Good news everyone! I'M O K!"... And then not even a second later the table and all the heavy equipment that had been set on it crashed less than a foot away from her, causing her to do a double take at the wreckage which almost landed right on top of her."...My stuff probably isn't though."Ayami stood up, brushing the dust off of her shorts and vest, checking the pockets on her coat to ensure they were still full and hadn't been picked by an errant pickpocket up above. In fact, with that in mind she checked every pocket she had, including the pouch on her belt where she stored all of her tools. What luck! Everything was still there!"Phew...Gramma would have killed me if I lost my stuff to an obvious trap like that!"The inventor tapped her foot impatiently as a screen appeared and the proctor herself began to relay a message to all of them. So that lady had tricked them into a labyrinth? Sheesh how inconvenient! Well, rather than giving in to despair, or panicking, Ayami took those words to heart. "You can still use your natural talents!" That means she had her tools, and she had her affinity for water."Time to get to work then!"She sauntered over to a pile of scrap electronics that she spotted in the corner. The technologically adept elfen began to dig through the pile, looking for useful components. She pocketed several smaller parts into her coat before she finally found the holy grail of items!!!"I've got a REAL important question for all of you. What's the best counter to a maze?"She waited for each of the trapped participants to give their own answers. And then she held up what she had found! A broken dragon ball radar! The internals had been screwed beyond belief but the screen was still perfectly intact!"If anyone here said "Radar", you're ABSOLUTELY right! These babies are top of the line for reading energy signatures! Sure it's SUPPOSED to read for those "dragon ball" things people swear exist...But with an easy adjustment this little guy will read ANY energy signatures! I just have to adjust it to match that proctor's life force and BAM, we've got ourselves a one-way ticket to the outside of this place!"Ayami got to work immediately gathering the parts to get the radar working again. She pulled the few components she had pocketed out and fit each of them into the radar's backing, taking a screwdriver from her pouch to secure it all in place. It took a moment of tinkering, but suddenly a singsong beep echoed out across the room, signifying that somehow this tinker had actually got it working!"Just one tinnnnyy adjustment and...Bingo. We've got a signal."She held the radar out to show everyone else, a single blip on the radar was visible a long distance away. This device wasn't going to help them to instantly discover the exit, but the aid it provided was undeniable considering it gave them a direction to go in. She then resumed digging through the pile, and found several other tech parts that she began to fashion into...Weapons. An array of loud sounds filled the room, from screwing, to the clicking of a wrench, to the banging of a hammer against steel. But soon enough it all stopped as the inventor elfen returned to the group, holding a set of objects."If we can't use our ki, we'll just have to do this the old fashioned way! Cold hard steel and lasers!"She held out weapons for each of them to take, save for Atsuko who thankfully was already equipped with one of her own. The weapons available to the others featured such beauties as a club with a sawblade punched into it, a makeshift laser gun that looked like it could explode at any moment, and a sword made from scrap metal.So! Who's ready to solve a maze?" Titania Akisei Atsuko Vaelaria Lambertia

The Saiyan was a little shocked to hear that Titania knew who Micaela was. For a variety of reasons, that kind of information shouldn't come lightly -- but this WAS Earth's Military... So she hides her surprise and lets it slide as if it were completely natural. No use in giving herself away right now. Besides, she would be in the perfect position to strike back at the assassins when they arrived.
That being said, information ended up falling into her lap regardless, thanks to the arrival of certain other individuals. Most notably being a Fae who recognized the name 'Titania', and that it belonged to the Fae Queen... Now, what the Proctor had to say to that was most interesting. Atsuko made a mental note of all of this. It might be very useful for the future, even if she couldn't confirm anything either way.
Eventually they were all instructed to follow, where they would then begin a test. Atsuko did so without question... That being said, she hadn't expected the ground to give way so suddenly beneath her feet. Right away she could already tell that she couldn't fly either; something was dampening her power. But that didn't necessarily mean that she was helpless in this situation.
The Saiyan closes her eyes, and takes a deep breath. All of her training with Aya was coming back to her fresh; Deep Focus could get her out of this. Because of that, the Albino Saiyan was able to land in such a way as to ensure minimal chance for injury. In just as short order, she got back onto her feet and opened her eyes. Everyone else had far less graceful entries to this testing area, though. Ayami had been the least graceful out of them.
Several loud crashes and bangs was enough to get the Saiyan to look over at the Elfen to make sure she was still alright. " That could have been pretty bad..." , the Saiyan spoke.
Like the others, she began to take in her surroundings. A screen flickers to life and Proctor Titania speaks, giving her instructions to everyone as to the purpose of this test. A quick glance up above proves that they won't just be able to climb back out, even if they had enough material to construct with... Her thoughts were interrupted as Kiara approached and began to speak to her.
Atsuko turned her attention to the seemingly timid girl. " It is real. But I won't use it rashly. We should consider how to proceed before we do anything." As if right on cue, Ayami asked what the best counter to a maze was. The Knight had her own answer. " That would be the left or right-hand rule. We pick a wall that is either to our left or our right, and we stick to it as we move forward. If any crossroads happen, we continue sticking to that direction." She pauses, assuming most have figured it out by now. " It stands to reason that any normal maze can be solved by doing so. We would find the exit eventually, while ensuring we do not get lost. If we have to come back, we just follow the same wall, but go the opposite direction." Evidently, the Knight didn't have the correct answer, or at least not the one Ayami was thinking of. But between a radar and her own method of exploration, they would have minimal risk of losing track of their progress; so long as this was a normal maze, of course..." Between that radar and the rule for mazes... We have a solid plan." , she looks to everyone briefly. " But let's confirm everything first. This place is safe -- at least for now, so we should prepare before rushing out." This was going to be key. While they obviously couldn't stay here, the moment they started moving, they would inevitably end up in some kind of situation that would test them. Being unprepared could cost them dearly. Titania Ayami Akisei Vaelaria Lambertia

Vae waves wildly back to Ayami, a grin threatening to split her face. It felt like things were happening quickly! A little too quickly... Wait where did the floor go- "AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-" Okay! Panic! Panic! Vae moves around in midair to grab a capsule out of her pocket and all but slaps it against her coat. With a poof, its gone. Then she hits the floor. At least it was cushioned. "Well Proctor Titania, I must thank you for saving me from the fate of being fished. I don't think my old bones could have handled that fall. Now...Would you mind terribly if I waited with you for the others?" The old woman smiled at Titania, looking for a chair to rest her 'old bones' in. Meanwhile in the pit, Vae has faceplanted while holding the one capsule up. "My face broke my fall..." Vae's pretty unharmed for the most part, but she's still not super 'happy' about this happening. Though strangely enough, when she hears about the 'challenge', she seems to perk up. "So this is one big escape room?!? This sounds super fun!!!" Vae pops the capsule back open and catches the coat before it falls. "One point for managing to catch my coat with its- oh..." A large blue stain has formed on the front of the coat, coating the fabric. "... Well there goes that sample of Undinettle spine pulp."Vae works to get anything salvageable out of the lab coat, even if her hands end up very purplish by the end of it. When Ayami asks her question, she looks up from her work. "I have a secret to mazes, but its kinda cheating in an escape room!" Eventually, she manages to get a mostly intact small notebook, a pencil, a few small miscellaneous capsules, and two snack bars from the pockets of her coat. "I'm ready for maze escape room!!! ... Wait heck! I forgot escape room rule number one!!!" She slaps her cheeks lightly. "Making sure that everyone is given puzzles that suit their skill! My name's Vaelaria, and I'm good at biochemistry, creative thinking, and general shenaniganry! I really only know Ayami here, so its nice to meet you all!" Ayami Titania Atsuko Akisei Lambertia

Still being barely less than half awake Lambertia looked around the assembled group trying to see who these other people in the field were. Most of them she didn’t think she was familiar with but two of them looked vaguely recognisable. The goggles and the Armor. Something about them shone through the fog in her head. It would only be polite to go and speak to them first. She started to walk towards them but scarcely made it a whole two steps before the strangest thing happened. The floor was late for its appointment with her foot. Then when it arrived it did so with more of her than just her foot. Lying there horizontally she looked around. The, grass was apparently missing and everyone seemed much more energised than they just had a moment ago. Lambertia cast her thought back to the previous evening. She couldn’t remember anything about the drinks with the farmer involving that was hallucinogenic. Then again she couldn’t guarantee that she would if they were still in effect. Getting back up again and dusting herself off she took another look around.
“Either I’m one fish under the limpets cloud, or we’re in some kind of weird teambuilding day.” She could remember Vantas boss talking about such things once. She definitely did not remember signing up to any teams. Or sports activates. Still she was here now, and she had just somewhat volunteered herself. She wandered over to one of the doors and rand a finger over the join between it and the wall, taking a moment to feel around d it and in turn moving around the room and check each of the doors in turn. Once she had been to each of them, and had a bit more time to actually wake up, rub the sleep out of her eyes. She turned and waved the group over to the one that had had the greatest airflow. “Hey, I think we should start with this one. The airs strongest from this one.”
Looking at them she realised that she must still not have completely woken, she still couldn’t quite recall who the familiar people were.

ACTIONS REWARDED Actions taken by players on the previous turn yielded the following for the group:
Radar:You'll be able to tell the proper way to go based on Titania's signature! [User will know which door to use, no getting lost! currently It is pointing towards a certain windy number five]
Scrap Sword x1:Tier 1 damage, can't be charged [it's a sword!] Uses unlimited
Saw Club x1:Tier 2 damage, Can't be charged. 10 uses, once used up splits into a club and saw blade.
Explosive Laser Gun x1:Tier 1 damage, slight melting effect, Can be charged, 10 uses [explodes the turn after last use for tier 3 damage, make sure it explodes on your advantage!]
Information Uncovered:None
It seemed everyone had gotten down safetly... good. From here she would be able to observe their actions in full from her data pad. She coudn't help but chuckle at the big bad kai being reduced to asking others to aid her. It wasn't like she truly had to... But then she'd tip her hand wouldn't she? Titania wasn't vindictive though.. she was curious what 'Kiara' would be able to do as well. Surely if anyone was going to be more than the ki they wielded it would be the great kais!
She was impressed with the group though so far though. Already a group of what wa moslty strangers was communicating, trying to figure things out. The light elfin was making logical deductions on where to go, the water elfin was making equipment, weapons and items to help them surivive. Ah even a radar huh? how crafty~ She intended to see how they handled her little maze. Truthfully she hoped she could overcome it, in truth it was the end result she most desired.
But if she made it easy on them the victory would be worth nothing. She wondered how they ultimalty would get through their desires door. Would they destroy it? Use the terminal in the room? Without an access card it would take considerable skill to do so... she coudn't wait to see how it ended.
Titania though, was pretty blunt with the doctor.
"Your not one to be observed here. But .. your welcome I suppose. As for staying here.. if you must, I can't imagine it will be terribly exciting for you though, I am only going to be sitting here observing their progress"
A thought occured to her, tapping her chin in thought.
"That young fae though... perhaps you can tell me her story? Not everyday you see one wondering around earth"
Meanwhile back down below, the group's silence would be interrupted by a loud rattling to their side. If they looked to would direction they would see a pair of big red eyes peering through the large vents- though it woudnt be long before it began moving away, quickly as if it were sliding. In its wake a hissing sound was heard.
Now, how would the group proceed?

Kiara nodded at Atsuko’s words, biting her lips with a worried look on her face. “I didn’t think they’d seal our ki. I was counting on it for the examination. I don’t know if I can do this now.”
Kiara looked down, looking dejected. Atsuko was still remaining calm at least. And that crazy inventor managed to put away their radar. Given her skill set, she was useful even when her ki was sealed. Her power wasn’t anything to sneeze at either. She was going to have to include her in her conversion plans. Tomina was smitten with Lucy, so it was only a matter of time before the demon dragged her into the dark. Ayami and Atsuko would require more personal touches though. She looked up as the Fae introduced herself. The acting was a skill that took a lot of effort to master. Although Kai in general were more easily able to distance themselves from emotions when it came to mortals. Rumia and Doku were exceptions to this, but most universe’s kais distanced themselves from mortals. Forming personal relationships was something they tended to avoid since getting close to something that was doomed to die would only cloud one’s judgment. So it was not easy for most kai’s to act like they cared. Especially if there was other emotions they were hiding as well. Kiara hated the Fae more than ever at this moment. They weren’t created by any of the deities and decided to play God at every opportunity they could get. To seal a user of divine ki was absolutely sacrilege in Akisei’s eyes. And yet she forced herself to look into the eyes of the Fae who fell down with her with fear. She was forced to express terror at her situation to one of the races she hated the most. “Nice to meet you, Vaelaria.” Kiara mumbled. She shuffled over to the pile of weapons that Ayami managed to put together. She hesitated, then reached out and grabbed the scrap sword, clutching it tightly. Then she heard a hissing noise. “Eep!” Kiara cried out, looking around for the source of it. She couldn’t find the source of it though. “What was that?! Is something in here with us?!”

The elfen inventor smiled reassuringly as Atsuko expressed concern over just how badly that drop could have been for her specifically. She shakes her head, giving the saiyan knight a proud salute."No worries, all Capsule Corp Employees have been given basic first-aid training! But don't try that at home kids! I'm a PROFESSIONAL!"Ayami turned almost instinctively towards the viewer Titania was using to watch her guinea pigs, giving it a cheeky wink and a thumbs up. How could she have possibly known where it was? Well, she didn't. She just guessed. Her very nature was to be as much of a showboat as possible for the crowd, she ABSOLUTELY wasn't going to miss her cue!Almost right away the intrepid inventor received responses to the question she posed to the four who were trapped down in the labyrinth with her. Atsuko answered that the left right rule would be the best. It was a good answer, and it definitely worked in theory! But no, there was far too much guess-work involved with it and they could be there for ages."Close, but we don't know how big this labyrinth is, either!"Next was Vae, her solution was a notebook and a pencil Writing down where they had been was a clever idea! But...They also didn't have a layout in mind. Still, even though they both gave completely different answers from "Radar"...They were good ideas too."Well, it stands to reason if we combine the three methods, we'll escape in no time at all! V, can I trust you to write down each place we visit and detail any interesting findings? Like a layout see!"The elfen procured her own notebook and proceeded to write on an empty page, holding it up for everyone to see and giving Vaelaria an Example of what to write. It was a fairly crude sketch done in mere seconds, but it was only used to provide a method to explain what the young inventor meant. In that regard she believed it got the point across well enough. Still...When Vae introduced herself and her set of skills, the elfen grinned brightly, practically bright enough to light up the whole room. Ayami brought a thumb to her chest, introducing herself in the most overly flashy way she could possibly think of!"I'm Ayami!!! I'm a master inventor and tinkerer, a future budokai champion, and a user of water techniques!~ I know everybody in this room!"She began to show how she knew each person aside from the stranger...She first pointed at Vaelaria."That's V!"And next came the albino knight. The inventor pointed at her too."That's 'Suko!"And lastly came the half-drunken light elfen. With a smile Ayami then proceeded to point at Lambertia too."And that's Berty!"The inventor rested her hands on her hips, smiling proudly over her bold introduction. ... Her bold introduction which rudely included everyone else...Except that is - For the odd one out. Ayami rubbed her chin as she now glanced over at Kiara."Yeah, I know everybody here... ... Except..."The water elfen quickly zipped over to Kiara as Appledorn grabbed hold of the scrap sword, getting up close to the absolutely real human being. She gazed deeply into the disguised kai's eyes, practically piercing her non-existent soul. Had the elfen figured out what Kiara really was? Did this eccentric girl figure it all out...? She glared at the human with a judgemental expression... ... until it suddenly lifted into a lighthearted grin."... For you! What's your name?! Mine's Ayami!!! Cool hairpin! Did you make it yourself? Are you good at crafts? I LOVE making accessories! I have these earrings at home I made by cutting sapphires and-"A sudden outburst of concerning noises cuts the barrage of questions short. First rattling, and then hissing. The inventor froze on the spot, holding tightly to Kiara's shoulders as she stared the faux human in the eyes. Ayami stayed completely dead silent for a full thirty seconds before coming back to the world of the living, looking over at Atsuko."Well, so much for safety! We had better grab what we need and go!"As if on cue Lambertia examined a door, the one marked "Number five"...So she thought that was the right way? The inventor stepped over to her calmly, holding up the radar to check...An overexcited beeping indicated that Lambertia was indeed correct. Ayami raised an eyebrow."Wow, she's right!"The aquatic elfen stepped up to the door, sliding a free hand across the door's surface. Searching for any indention or bumps along it...Her eyes were drawn next to the terminal installed on the door's right. The girl examined the terminal closely, running memories through her mind to try and place this particular type to computer terminals she had worked on in the past...A theory worked in her mind and she pressed her pointer finger to the screen, watching as it hummed to life with a password lockout window. But more than that, the visual design of the UI matched perfectly to a model she knew of!"...Aha...I had a feeling I recognized this model of terminal. This is a JX-634M terminal. Military surplus computers. I've worked on a bunch of these before at work! You'd be surprised how many times government officials forget their own passwords...The 633M models were notoriously impossible to get into if you forgot your password, that's why they made THESE with a fail safe!"The elfen dug around in her tool belt, quickly procuring a screwdriver. With just a moment of unscrewing four flat head screws on the back of the screen, she managed to pull it loose, and behind it was a plethora of wiring and components. More importantly there was a wired plug in the very back that was bright red. Ayami put away her screwdriver and instead took out a pair of pliers, grabbing the plug ever so carefully and giving it a gentle tug, pulling it loose from it's socket. The terminal immediately died out, the humming and light fading as it was forced to shut down due to a loss of power. Here's where the others might have thought she broke it...But she raised a free hand to stop them from saying anything while she worked. After waiting thirty seconds she carefully plugged the wire back in."Give me a sec and I'll have this baby open in no time!"She shoved the screen back into it's slot for a moment, watching as the screen glowed to life once again, this time on a black screen which displayed the words "Rebooting...". But rather than waiting for it to reboot, the elfen pressed a finger to the upper right corner of the screen, causing a menu to open on the black screen which read "Please set password"."What do you guys want the new password to be? Oh! I know!"The young inventor began typing into the on-screen keyboard..."Ilovepuppies9001..."With a press of the "enter" key, the screen went dark once again...And then returned to the "Rebooting..." message. Finally it went dark for a third time...Before booting up to the same password screen as it had been on before. Ayami swiftly enters the password she had set, causing the terminal to open up into several options!"Bingo! We're in! These babies all have a built in failsafe to let you reset the password so long as you can reboot them! You can thank forgetful, stuffy old men for our salvation!"There were three options available. "Unlock door", "Check Internal Messages", and "Log off". The elfen inventor's finger hovered over the unlock door option for a moment...But she stared at the "Check Internal Messages" option with a vested curiosity."...Hold on, what's this little surprise?"Ayami moved her finger downwards and pressed it firmly against the messages option, watching to see what happened when she pressed it... Actions:1. Ayami hacks into the terminal using a fail safe program! 2. Ayami checks the internal messages on the terminal. Akisei Atsuko Vaelaria Lambertia
